(12,409 posts)2. Hillary is delusional if she thinks the recent polls are reflecting reality
Old models of voter trends will not work in the upcoming election. Trump has swayed many numbers of Blue Dogs and drawn a large number of non-voters into his fold. They are rabid and will take advantage of every dirty trick in the book including placing his skin head bikers at polling places.
Media complicity include the recent polling that gives Hillary a "landslide victory"; this only serves to keep voters away thinking their vote is not needed.
Trump and his minions are far more dangerous than anyone has put forth so far and I do not expect him to be called out for any lies between now and election day.
